The Turning-18 Toolkit · For Florida parents

You can still be there
when it counts.

The day your child turns 18, Florida law locks you out of their medical, financial, school — and mental-health — decisions. Seven documents put you back in the loop. Tell us who's leaving the nest and we'll build their checklist.

From the founder of Peoples-Law.org — Maryland's official public legal information site for more than 25 years. The same public-service approach, now for your family.

Build your student's checklist

Free, no email required. We'll personalize the seven documents and the timeline to where they're headed.

The seven documents

Check the ones you already have.

Everything left unchecked is a gap — at the hospital, the bank, or the registrar. Not sure whether a form you already signed truly covers one? Tap "Does what I have count?" on any card before you check it.

Why the Mental Health Advance Directive matters

Mental-health emergencies are now the largest category of campus medical incidents, and Florida's Baker Act allows a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold on a single professional's determination. Once your child is admitted, HIPAA's psychotherapy-notes rule can lock family out — even family named on a standard release. This directive is the separate instrument that keeps you able to help.

⚠ If your child has an existing mental-health diagnosis, consult an attorney and their treating provider before executing it.

JusticeXpress Florida is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We provide legal information and self-help document preparation, including documents prepared for other U.S. states. No attorney–client relationship is created by using this checklist or our services. Legal Document Review is a clerical, non-legal check for completeness and proper form — not legal correctness or legal advice. If you need legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant state.
